Know James fox is a massive city fan-he should push the club on this one as it is a very good song.

Much better than that Italian bloke singing 'We're Premier League' whilst being a self confessed Arsenal fan, this came from the heart of James. Push it City! :ayatollah:

Better than his previous crap but still forgetable, his vocals are weak & lyrically poor, he just does'nt do anything for me.Pity Martyn Joseph was'nt a City fan.

I like it and have a lot of time for James think he is a cracking singer to be fair. :malky:

I've even left a cheeky message on the vid's comments offering the rights to a tune I wrote about he city for free if he wanted to release his as a charity single. Long shot I know but being a humble lad I think my tune would make a pretty tidy b-side with a decent singer and a good bit of production. If anyone fancies a listen to my tune a really rough demo is here https://soundcloud.com/sibaroni/it-star ... -riverside

Okay so this is a shameless plug (and the second time I've done it) but thought i'd try again as only Barnet came back to me first time round (cheers dude :thumbup: )and it seems to be a new city song every other week these days so I thought i'd get in on the action!

But seriously, if anyone want's to give me some feedback it'd be massively appreciated! I know i'm not the worlds greatest singer and it was recorded on a phone so comments about the tune rather than the performance are more what i'm after - but to be honest don't hold back lads - if you think its shite just say it as it is.

One thing i am happy with is the lyrics. I wanted to write a song a that didn't sound like a run of the mill football song and think I managed to get a good balance between the clubs story and what the city means to me without sounding to cliched.

Again comments and criticism appreciated :ayatollah:

Lyrics:
Started at the Riverside:

It started at the riverside
innocent and pure
Born in the death of a summer
Destined to be much more

So much more

From Sophia’s humble settings
To an invitation from the king
We almost reached the top of the world
Before war set in

But we never gave in

I’ll always have you beside me
A heartbeat that always ties me
With my home

A love that transcends meaning
A tribal, unbreakable feeling
Deep in my soul

It started at the riverside but now its so much more

We’ve had our tastes of glory
From Hamburg to Madrid,
The pride of a fragile nation
Was with us when we did

And how we did….

But it hasn’t always been easy
I found you at a low
Still you lit a spark within me
A light I’d never known

And how its grown

I’ll always have you beside me
A heartbeat that always ties me
With my home

A love that transcends meaning
A tribal, unbreakable feeling
Deep in my soul

And if you wear red or blue
I’m still be there with you
No matter how you do

And if you wear blue or red
You still inside my head
Your still inside my soul

Your in my soul

:ayatollah:

Yeah fair enough it does go on bit.

Hard cramming everything I feel about the city plus hundred years history in to one song, but point taken.

Thanks for taking the time to listen anyway dude much appreciated. :ayatollah:

:lol: Only joking, total respect for anyone who can play & write music.My boy plays & gigs regularly & i know how hard it is, he played a charity gig on tuesday & was the only one who actually played a instrument, the other acts all used backing tracks. Like you said it's tough to write about a 100 year history in 3 minutes, lyrically it's good but i did think it needed to get going to keep the listeners attention but in a studio to add a bit more it'd be really good :ayatollah:
